What is blogger and wordpress?

Which is the best platform, blogger or wordpress?

How to start a blog on wordpress?

How to choose Your Blog Topic/niche?

Which is the best Hosting?

Setting up hosting and install wordpress on it (Step by step) in detail.

Step 1. What is blogger and wordpress?

Blogger is a free platform provided by Google to create free blog on it. It was developed by Pyra Lab in 2003. Blogger Blogs are hosted on sub domain of blogspot.com, for example you want to create blog named example.com on blogger then your Url will be example.blogspot.com instead of example.com. Yes, you can buy custom domain too and add it in future. There are millions of blogs which are hosted on blogger so far; from this figure we can easily guess that how much the scope of blogging.

Step 2. Which is the best platform, blogger or wordpress?

There are uncountable articles written on this topic, some experts said that blogger is the best, on the other hand many experts force to use wordpress instead of blogger with several reasons. In my opinion and personal experience I want to tell you to use wordpress, I will not going to differentiate of these two platforms deeply, but I only say that in wordpress you have a lot of freedom, more control and more options to create professional blog as compare to blogger.

Step 3. How to start a blog on wordpress?

To start a blog on wordpress, firstly you have topic/niche on your mind, topic must be that on which you have a good knowledge to write articles on it, if you have not able to write due to lack of knowledge or weak in writing English, then don’t worry, there are many online articles writing services and writers available, you can search on Google or on different facebook Groups, But it is quite good to write yourself. In next section I describe how to select blog topic/niche. Secondly you must have good hosting. Why? Detail discussion in hosting section. And last thing is how to install wordpress on hosting, step by step guide in “setup wordpress section”.

Step 4. How to choose Your Blog Topic/niche?

Selection of blog topic/niche is very difficult for those who are beginners because they are very confused to understand, is my idea perfect? It does not matter what topic is, in my opinion every topics/niches are fine, but only think you have in your mind while selecting the topic/niche, that how many people search on that topic/niche and how many number of users you can easily bring on your blog.

For example, I want to create blog on “Affiliate Marketing”. It is better to check at-least 10 keywords related to affiliate marketing. And write articles on these keywords later. So how you can check and select the right keywords? Google provides a free tool for keywords research named Google Keyword Planner.

5. Now you can see in image below that all search volume of my keywords are about 10,000 to 100,000 per month, which are good to write articles on these keywords. You definitely get up to 20,000 to 40,000 visitors easily on your blog. So, this is a good niche/topic to start a blog on it.

Pro Tip: Always select those keywords which competition are “low or medium” and have high “Avg. monthly searches”.

Top 10 high paying niches for blog.

Insurance.

Health.

Make Money Online.

Technology.

Blogging Tutorials.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Web Development Related Niche.

Forex Trading,

Beauty Tips.

Apps Listing (Android, iOS and Windows).

Step 5. Which is the best Hosting?

Which hosting is the best for my blog is very complicated question; those who are new in blogging. Every hosting company claim that they are the best, there are various articles written on that topic already. Some experts said BlueHost is the best, some are saying Hostgator is superfast and some others forced to used Hostmonster or Godaddy, after listening and reading all the ideas of experts,yes new comers got absolutely confused that which hosting service they should choose? To cut a long story short, I would say you can select any of one from these hosting services,all of these are super fast, cheap, reliable and most trusted hosting providing services.

Don’t buy hosting or domain from local dealers, because your blogging business are directly dependent on hosting, if your hosting is good and reliable then your blog will be super fast and that why viewers would love to visit your blog. So please stay away from local dealers and select hosting like Bluehost, hostgator etc, I use these hosting services for my blogs and also recommend these services to my clients.

Step 6. Setting up hosting and install wordpress on it (Step by step) in detail.

So, here is step by step guide about how you can buy hosting and setup your wordpress blog. Same process for other hosting (Hostgator, Hostmonster and Godaddy).

Now the blog is ready, here is the time to setup recommended plug-ins which boosts ranking and performance of your blog. Install only plug-ins which I suggest, don’t install plug-ins which is not necessary, because it will increase blog load time, which is not a good sign.

Now go to “SEO” and then select “Titles & Metas” after selecting HomePage beside the General tab enter blog Title and Description here (Title should be between 60 to 120 characters Max, Description 165 to 240 Max).

There are many others option too in this plug-in, but it is fine as it is, no need to worry about it.

2. Install “Contact Us Form” plug-in, it helps you to add contact form in blog contact us page.

Follow the same steps, go to Plugins->Add New and search “contact us form” in search bar at top right. Install and activate it.

Go to setting -> and select contact us form.

Now you can see the short-code” [CONTACT US-FORM]” add this short-code at where you want to display contact form (especially in contact us page).

3. Some others essential setting before proceed.

When you install new wordpress blog, then there is one sample Post & Page in it. You should delete it.

Go to Pages->All Pages and click trash.

Same process for deleting sample post, go to Posts->All Posts and trash

Disable user’s registration, it is always better to disable user’s registration to save the blog from spamming posts. If it necessary to add more than one user, do it manually by creating Write For Us Page. Go to Settings->General and un-checked the user registration field.

The default permalink is not search engine friendly, URL is now very important part of search engine optimization. You can easily change it by going to Settings->Permalinks and select Post name radio button.

Now, the blog is ready to use, it’s time to write at-least 20 – 40 posts on it, in my case I write 25 posts on “Affiliate Marketing”, you write on your topic/niche whatever it is, but don’t copy from others, write themselves or hire content writer.

Step 8. Off-page SEO (Creating back links, sitemap etc) in detail.

Back-links act like a game changer, if the blog get high PR (page rank) back links than it increases the chances blog to get top ranking in major search engine such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. In earlier 2010, which blogs or websites have more links, those blogs got better ranking in search engine, however the rules have totally changed by the search engine, and now quality of back-links matter rather than quantity of back links.

I am not going to cover advance techniques for getting back links, because this post is for beginners and for those who want to start their own blogging business. Advance techniques like PBN (Personal blog Network) or guest posting on high authority website is very costly, most of us do not afford it, I am not discouraging those who use these techniques, but here I wil not discuss those, I am only here to show you easy and free way to get back-links from high authority sites.

1.Get back-links from social bookmarking sites.

2. Get back-links from Directories submission sites.

Grabbling back-links from directories submission is also an easy way to get High PR back-links, now the only think you will need to do is to create account on all are given sites, fill the information and that’s it, it will take up to 4 months for approval. Here is the list of 100 PR 6 directories submission.

3. Get back-links from online forums.

There are many forums available on every topic; you can easily search forums according to the blog niche. List of 50 plus high PR (Page Rank) forums, it may also help you.

4. Get back-links for doing blog comments.

There is another great way to build back-links from high authority sites. You can search sites related to your niche/topic, post comment in the comment field below the post, if the site owner allows posting comments.

5. Get back-links from video sharing websites.

Here is another easy way for building quality links, getting back-links from video sharing sites is so easy, you simply create video about related to the blog niche, it may be any tip, tutorial, product review etc, upload the video on al-least 5 video sharing site and don’t forget to add blog Url in the description.

Share your video on these free video sharing sites. Here are the 5 easy and great ways to build back-links for the blog.

Step 9. How to apply for Google Adsense account – step by step guide.

Google adsense is a great source of income for many bloggers, especially countries like India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan etc. Google Adsense pay an estimate of 2.6 billion dollars to their publishers, so it is cool way to earn from adsense, I can imagine that you will have been followed all steps given above, now you have blog with 20 – 40 unique posts, have good hosting, and also build back-links from sites I describe in step 8, one more think before applying for adsense, your blog must have About Us page, Contact Us page and privacy policy page, check my site (whyblogging.com) as a example.

1.Create new Gmail id, which is also mention in your contact us blog page.

6. Now add your Name, address and other information’s very carefully, your name must be same as display on your National Id card # or on your bank account, address and postal code should be correct also.

Adsense verification Pin will have been send by post on address you entered after earning 10$, and payment will be issued on your name or sent by check when earning reach the threshold of 100$.

7. Here you select the Adsense Email Preferences according to the need, and click the button “Submit my Application”.

Last Important Step. Now Google Adsense approve account in two step, after submitting the application to Google Adsense, you will receive first mail from adsense within 24-48 hours, in this mail they will say, login to adsense account create ad, and paste ad on your blog for approval.

Now login to your adsense account, go to My Ad tab and create New ad unit.

Enter Name of ad unit, select ad size, there are various sizes available and also have option to style your ad, but I do not recommend to create custom ad style, click save and get code.

Place ad code on the blog, login to the blog dashboard, go to Appearance->widgets.

Place the code in the text widget and save it, you see the blank space instead of ad, because google adsense take 7 to 14 days for approval process, once the Google approved account, ad will show up there, and now your earning will be started.

Step 10. Best Affiliate Networks and how to place Affiliate offers on blog.

When you want to earn huge amount of income from blogging, then first think come in to the mind is affiliate marketing. Many affiliate marketers earn unpredictable income from affiliate, some time we got shocked that how they can do that and how they earn more than 100,000$ per month. The answer is very sample; they are doing affiliate marketing in right way.

So, what is Affiliate Marketing?

Selling others products or services by advertising them on your blog is known as affiliate marketing, there are some other ways too for doing affiliate marketing, but here I only discuss, how you can do affiliate marketing on your blog. Let’s take example, a company offers a product of 100$ to their customers, they also have an affiliate program, in which it offers 50% commission to them who sell their product. So, whenever you will sell any product, you receive 50$ commission, hope now you can understand.

Best Affiliate Networks/Programs.

There are uncountable affiliate programs available online; here I am not going to discuss each and every network but I only show you top 5 high paying affiliate programs. By using any one from these networks, you can easily earn decent income by advertising their services or products on the blog. Keep in mind only advertise affiliate offers related to the blog niche otherwise it will not work.

For example, my blog is related to blogging, so if I want to earn from the affiliate programs then i should advertise offers related to blogging.

So, here I only show you a step by step guide to place commission junction offers to your blog, because I personally use commission junction, it works great especially when a large number of blog traffic is coming from Asian countries, you can use any one of 5 networks mention above, but I suggest to use commission junction. Watch the video, in which my team member describes, how to sign up and place offers in the blog.

Step 11. How to earn over 1000$.

By following the step # 9 & step # 10, you can easily make over 1000$ income from the blog, Let take an example, you have blog which is taking traffic of almost 15 to 30 thousand visitors per month, then you can earn 100 to 250 $ from Google Adsense, it may vary depend on the blog niche, you already read in step # 4, which are the top high paying blog niches/topics.

And second income source is affiliate program, normally you earn 20 to 100$ per sale from affiliate marketing, so let say, you advertise an offer which pay 40$ on per sale to marketers, and you make only 20 sales per month, I am not saying 100 or 500 sales per month which good marketers normally achieve, but at this stage you are not a good marketer and sold only 20 products per month, commission per product is 40$, 40*20 = 800$ commission you can easily earn.

Step 12. Free services of over 100$ for you.

This offer is for those who cannot understand how to start a blog, because they are not able to understand technical things which are described in this post, if you are one of them, don’t worry I will help and guide you.

So, these are some services I provide free of cost, it will definitely help to establish your own blogging business.

Conclusions.

Success in blogging business in not rocket science, I know personally some peoples who are not related to the field I.T (Information Technology), some belong from business community and some from electronic, engineering and others fields, they read articles from others sites or blog and describe them in their own words, but one think is common, they all have great writing skills, they explain in the way that the readers love to read their posts. I already describe, you can hire some writer or contact me I will provide you quality content in cheap rate, if you are not good at writing. But I recommend you to write yourself.

Hope this guide will help you to understand, what is blogging, SEO and affiliate marketing? I tried to cover the entire think in detail as much as possible, so if you have any problem or queries contact me on my Skype id : seo.supports.

]]>So if you is running a blog on wordpress.com and want to move or migrate to wordpress.org then you are reading the right article. In this article, I will show you a two different ways of Migrating your site. Read both method before migrating and use those one who is easy, in my option first method is easy then second, but it your own choose.

Purchase good, reliable and fast Web Hosting before Migrating.

I honest say’s please purchase a good web Hosting for your site before migrating, many web hosting in the market who claim that he is providing a good webhosting, but after you buy hosting like (Hostmonster.com, iPage.com, justhost.com), and your site visitors goes above 1k to 3k per day, problem comes, your site is slow down due to this your SEO is effected badly and when you contact them, he only say’s that we are sorry about this, I solve your problem as soon as i can.

Hope you understand what i am saying. I share my personal experience with you, due to these poor web Hosting I loss almost 3000$ so far and some of my site SEO effected badly. So I personally suggest you to buy Hosting from Godaddy.com or Hostwarner.com. Both is good option for you.

Note: Hostwarner.com is reseller of godaddy, so he provides the same service in very cheap rate. Shared web hosting 3.99$ per month and .COM domain is only8.99$ per Year.

Step 1: Exporting Data from wordpress.com.

For downloading whole website select All Content Option, it includes your pages, posts, tags, categories, menus, custom option and image etc. Click Download Export file and save file on your PC, file extension is .xml.

Step 2: Importing data into wordpress.org (Hosted Website).

After install wordpress.org on your hosting, the next steps are to import data. Go-to your wordpress.org blog dashboard. Click on Import option from Tool menu. On the next page you select the wordpress importer plug-in. Install and Activate the plug-in.

Once you install and activate the plug-in. Now you are able to upload your wordpress.com file, which you downloaded in the step 1 of this tutorial. Your file must be less the 32MB. If you file is greater the 32 MB, then there are many option are available. But not discuss in this tutorial.

When you start importing file, you have option to assigning old content to new user and also have an option to add all old attachments and images. So select that option which you need for it.

Final Step: Redirect old blog traffic to new blog using WordPress Site Redirection Add-on.

This step is very important according to SEO. If you not want to lose you old blog visitors and SEO, then this step is very helpful to you. For implementing this technique you need to buy a wordpress site redirection add-on which cost is around about 13$ per year, it offer 301 permanent redirect for your blog.

However, since everything these days is at risk, similarly the risk of hacking and security issues over WordPress are also very common and taking relevant initiatives regarding it also proves something very important.

When it comes to keeping the WordPress at a secured position, there is a serious need to have the different security plug-ins installed as well. This way the protection of the platform is always a perfect one and the security is foolproof keeping the owner of the blog in a peaceful mind state. Different kinds of plug-ins are available in the context of security of WordPress of which a few common ones include the following:

iThemes Security

This plug-in is very commonly used and a successful security plug-in which is being used by a number of people every now and then. The rate of security offered by this plug-in is a higher one and it helps giving a perfect coverage with different features it possesses. This plug-in helps in keeping the login pages hidden and with this keeps a backup of your page and data as well. Being a smarter version of security, this plug-in helps keeping the vulnerable information very restricted as well.

All in One WPSecurity & Firewall

All in One WPSecurity & Firewall is also a security plug-in more or less same as the iThemes security. This plug-in where protects your sensitive information. At the same time also provides for the backing up system. Another very impressive factor of this plug-in is the capability of offering a clear meter which rates the security of your website so that you may accordingly strengthen it as per your feasibility.

Sucuri Security

This plug-in is a mind-blowing choice of security which must be considered by every WordPress user since it is a very high profile and feature oriented plug-in used by a number of WordPress users. This plug-in keeps a complete track record of the entire details of the login and usage activities and the users may at any time take a look at the activity log. Other than this the plug-in also provides for a backup which may help you restore your entire WordPress website at anytime you want. Moreover, it keeps a track of any malwarethat might disturb your website so that it may get fixed on time.

BruteProtect

This plug-in is very effective when it comes to identifying any security issue taking place on your website in regard to the hacking attempt in a very simple way. This plug-in identifies any such login attempts made which go wrong and once the limit increases of these suspicious logins the IP address of that server is blocked to visit your WordPress website.

Google Authenticator

This platform provides for a code which is only known by the website owner and once the password and user id is being used for the login purpose, the website also requires a code to be entered so that the relevant owners may only access to the website.

These plug-ins are always worth going for because they provide people a terrific way to keep their websites protected and preserved from all kinds of hacking activities.

]]>You cannot hope to conduct even a very small business using a static website. You need to add and edit content on a regular basis so as to keep it fresh. You also need to make use of emails to market your products and services to your target group of customers. This is the reason why most of the entrepreneurs are today opting for websites with a content management system. There are many choices in front of you when it comes to CMS as there is open source as well as commercial CMS available in the market.

Open source content management systems

If you go for open source CMS, you are delighted as it is free of cost. Also, with millions of people using such a platform, you can also hope to get hands to latest technology and features. You can freely use the technology and even migrate it work on the platform that you are using. However, there are many shortcomings of an open source CMS. Though technology is available free of cost, you need to hire the services of an expert to integrate it to your existing platform. In fact, you can end up paying more than you do when you buy a commercial CMS. If you try to do it on your own, you would have to spend a lot of time and effort. Also, if there is a bug in this CMS, you cannot do a thing as it depends upon the company to fix it in its future updates.

Commercial CMS platforms

Pros of a commercial CMS

Commercial CMS platforms are more stable and give a more efficient performance as they have been thoroughly tested against bugs and loopholes. The sellers have 24X7 support to solve the problems of the customers

Vendors of commercial CMS platforms take it upon themselves to provide all technical assistance and training so that the user is ready to make use of the system without any problems

Cons of commercial CMS platforms

The price of commercial CMS platforms is high making them unaffordable for startups. Some of these systems also have upgrade costs that add to the expenses of small website owners.

Commercial CMS platform cannot be integrated or moved to any other platform because of its closed nature

As CMS systems that are commercial need to be high performing, they often lack cutting edge features. This is because deploying such features takes a lot in terms of testing in all environments.

It is up to you to choose the SMS platform depending upon your requirements.
